Black paint on fiberglass

[Double Venom]

I think your painter is talking about "Imprinting". It happens on any color with poor fiberglass or improper preperation prior to paint. Since ERA uses a high quality fiberglass and gelcoat you should never experience this problem, regardless of the color. A high quality Sealer is critical and following the directions is also critical. Nothing like a black Cobra with a two foot shine/reflection! best thing I have found is to put ther car in sealer-two coats- when it is ready for paint. Move it outside in the sun for a couple of days, causing the sealer to shrink and to allow the chemicals to work out of the sprayed sealer

Wet sand, (yes, wet sand the dried sealer) and put down your color. Now paint it black with two-three coats of high quality Clear that has plenty of UV protection- BASF,Dupon't etc.
My 2-cents-have never had the imprint problem With, ER!, EM, Midstates, Cr's, or SPF'.

Take a look in my archive. This black paint is a Mercedes paint sprayed in 1992.
Still in amazingly good shape and no fiber separation. Find another painter!

Some painters don't like to paint anything black, cause it is the most unforgiving color, any little imperfection is going to show up and look 10 times worse than it is!!!!!!!!!!!

As DV said, painting any color,especially black, it's all in the body prep, that will "make or break" a paint job.........

BTW: White IS the most forgiving color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
